Jim Carrey plays Truman Burbank, a vaguely unhappy insurance salesman in the perfect little seaside town of Seahaven. Following some strange occurrences, Truman starts to think that he is being watched. Little does he know that his entire life is secretly filmed, his town is a gigantic sound-stage, everyone he has ever known was an actor and that his every waking and sleeping second is broadcast around the world as a top-rated docu-soap.
“I had that rare feeling of elation -- of wanting to share a wonderful discovery -- that comes with seeing an original, inspired piece of work” San Francisco Chronicle |
